Update: I had to put this on the back burner for a few days. The HVAC controls work as they should. All fuses and relays seem to be good. The high and low pressure switches have continuity. My SIL has a set of gauges and I will check the coolant charge this weekend. Meanwhile, I put my...

A few mods to hide the pinch weld and keep some bozo from messing with the fuel tank.

My wife just retired. She asked for a new Jeep. At age 60, it is the first time she has ever asked for a new vehicle just for herself. Her wish is my command.

Now that I think about it. When I installed the HU, the 3-prong HVAC plug had melted and a PO did a hack job repairing it. I'm betting that is where my problem is. I will pop the bezel off tomorrow and see if the plug has disconnected itself. I may have to figure out a better solution than...

The AC in my wifes 99 quit working. She says the blower still worked. The airbag light occasionally started coming on for a couple days, then it would go out. IDK if that is related, but it started around the same time as the AC quit blowing cold. I went out this morning to troubleshoot...

Lights arrived today. I am surprised that these are still in stock. Heck of a deal and many owners of 60's Fords do this upgrade anyway.

Just picked up a couple more kits, $35 shipped to my door. For $17.50 each, that's a heck of a deal.

Finally got the rear seat back in with new hardware. Now I need to reinstall the rear seatbelts and figure out what to do with the center piece that has the two female parts of the belt. Mine work, but are broken.

I thought Schaefer was the nastiest beer I ever tasted until I had a Schaefer Lite.

Back when I was a young pup in the military, I drank a lot of beer with my buddies. Payday was on the 15th and the 30th. Oregon had a beverage container tax. On payday we drank Bud or Miller. Mid-way we drank Hamms or Oly, just before payday we drank Rainier. If we had the weekend off and...

Not much. I have had some ticker issues and had a procedure done last Friday to get things back to normal. Gotta lay off the fried chicken, pork rinds and Hamms. Am working on reinstalling the rear seat and seat belts.

It seems my center pieces are missing the covers. Is there anything else that uses the same style buckle that I can snag the covers off in the JY??

Shes a beauty. Those original hubcaps are hens teeth.

I replace my hoses, thermostat and do a radiator flush every 5 years at an average cost of around $200. Cheaper on the Mustangs and TJ, more expensive on the motorhome. Regular Gates work just fine for me. Silicone hoses were developed for severe duty applications and none of my vehicles fall...
